In no particular order either, he is a top of the range actor and when he gives it his best he is almost unrivaled when it comes to talent.
Starman is classic too.

When I think of the excellence that is Jeff Bridges, I think of two movies. Arlington Road and Starman. These are a bit older, especially Starman, but are well, well, well worth a look up. Arlington Road has so much of his emotion, especially in the last third of the movie, in his character. Starman as an emotionless, stiff and mechanical extraterrestrial stranded and trying to learn on the fly, and then giving his unknowing human accomplice an ultimate and precious miracle.
A lot of people lean towards his performance as The Dude, even if his rug kinda tied the room and the movie together. But I think it pales in comparison as it is made for less exposure in theaters, almost as a straight to DVD movie basking In it's own quality humor.
Bravo and well done, Mr. Bridges. I am sure there are others, but these are the two that always stick out in my mind.
